+4704 Keyboard Protocol
+======================
+On powering up the keyboard sends keyboard id; A3h for 6019284(62-key), for example.
+After that firmware enters FC command mode and waits for parameter data from host
+so that it doesn't send any scancode until you send 'FF'(End of FC command).
+
+
+Connector
+---------
+ Keyboard Plug from front
+
+ DSUB-9

+ \ N 2 3 4 5 /
+ \ N N N N /
+ ---------
+ 2 GND
+ 3 VCC 5V
+ 4 DATA
+ 5 CLOCK
+ N No connection/No pin.
+
+
+Keyboard to Host
+----------------
+Data bits are LSB first and Pairty is odd. Clock has around 60us high and 30us low part.

+ Start 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 P Stop
+
+Start bit: can be long as 300-350us.
+Inhibit: Pull Data line down to inhibit keyboard to send.
+Timing: Host reads bit while Clock is hi.
+Stop bit: Keyboard pulls down Data line to lo after 9th clock.

+Host to Keyboard
+----------------
+Data bits are LSB first and Pairty is odd. Clock has around 60us high and 30us low part.
+
+ ____ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ ________
+ Clock \______/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/

+ | Start 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 P Stop
+ Request by host
+
+Start bit: can be long as 300-350us.
+Request: Host pulls Clock line down to request to send a command.
+Timing: After Request keyboard pull up Data and down Clock line to low for start bit.
+ After request host release Clock line once Data line becomes hi.
+ Host wirtes a bit while Clock is hi and Keyboard reads while low.
+Stop bit: Host releases or pulls up Data line to hi after 9th clock and waits for keybaord pull down the line to lo.
+
+
+Scancodes
+---------
+Keyboard doesn't send Break code for all keys except for Alt by default.

+ Bit7 is 'press flag' which set 1 on press and 0 on release when break code is enabled.
+
+NOTE: When break code is enabled the key sends scancode with setting 7th bit on press
+and without it on release. That is, '`' sends 80h on press and 00h on release.

+
+keyboard command
+----------------
+ FF Soft Reset(0008h)
+ FE Resend(00e8h)
+ FD Buzzer stop?(00edh)
+ FC Set Key flag(00f6h)
+ FB Soft Reset(0008h)
+ FA Reset(0000h)
+
+
+Keyboard response
+-----------------
+ FF Not exist. [Outgoing buffer cannot have FFh(00h in fact)]
+ FE Overflow(key event/receive data) at 00c5h, 0346h
+ FE Memory test error at 0224h
+ FD Command out of bound at 00d8h
+ Key out of bound
+ 7E Read/Parity error in receive from host at 00bch
+
+
+Set Key flag command(FC)
+------------------------
+After 'Power on Reset' firmware enters this command mode and waits for data from host,
+so that you don't need to send 'FC' and it doesn't send any scancode until you send 'FF'.
+
+Data sent from host:
+
+ bit: 7 6 ... 0
+ en | |
+ | `-----`--- scan code
+ `------------- enable bit(0: enable repeat, 1: enable break)
+
+ 00-77 Enable repeat(78-7F: invalid scancode)
+ 80-F7 Enable break(F8-FF: invalid scancode)
+ FE Resend(011ah) no need to use
+ FF End(0114h) exits FC command mode.
+
+Response from keyboard:
+ FD Out of bound - Invalid scancode
+
+Examples:
+ To enable break code of all keys.
+
+ FC 80 81 ... F7 FF
